Is my building at risk?
Every property with micromobility batteries stored or charged indoors faces some degree of fire risk.
The level of risk depends on a variety of factors, such as the volume of batteries, their quality and condition, and the manner by which device owners charge and store them.
There are thousands of makes & models of micromobility devices & batteries on the market, many of them non UL- or EN-certified.
Unfortunately, even high-quality certified devices & batteries can become a fire risk if damaged, which can happen from routine use, improper maintenance, or after a drop or crash.
How to reduce risk
There are immediate fixes to implement today and longer-term strategies to consider as micromobility matures. Here’s Electric Avenue’s three-part risk reduction framework.
-
Require devices to meet key safety standards, and to be safely charged and stored in designated areas. Then, educate your community on these rules.
-
Get a handle on the devices present on your property, ensure that they’re kept in safe working order, and disposed of appropriately.
-
Install charging infrastructure to remove charging from inhabited areas, and connect your community with shared micromobility services and devices from top vendors.
